Iran shoots it's own?

Post by audiophile » Wed Jan 08, 2020 7:18 am

No Americans on board. An expert on ABC this morning said it disappeared off radar at 8000 feet and that is HIGHLY unusual. Engine failure at 8000 feet would not cause it to instantly disappear off radar. Now Iran won't hand over black box, obviously they have something to hide.

Like Reagan administration, LL101. Killing their own.
No public mention of epidemic killing thousands of Americans over years. Thought it was only killing homosexual Americans - so no rush or even a weak attempt to publicly acknowledge or try to understand, solve, or cure HIV.

Read Randy Shultz book “And The Band Played On”. Or watch the movie.

Never feel the USA is superior in our governmental practice of morality. History shows a very spotty record.

As we learn in “Animal Farm” - “Some animals are more equal than others.”

Still trying to form a more perfect union. Despite our current Trump lull.

WP: "Ukraine considers missile theory in Iran place."

Uh-oh. Canada is also pressing them for answers, since there was Canadians on plane.

Iran screwed up and shot themselves in the foot. Their military is in disarray.

Trump has - on several fronts - been Ukraine’s worst nightmare.

Playing around with their lives as he with holds US Congress-approved military aid - to allow Ukraine to keep Trump’s handler Putin from murderously stealing the rest of that sovereign country.

Trump releases it when he gets caught bullying Ukraine for his own self-centered political desires. Not giving a damn about the duties of his office. The same type of NPD behavior we’ve come to expect from the mentally ill CIC.

Now - Ukraine has lost a civilian airliner with near 200 souls on board. In retaliation for Trump’s assassination of Iran’s celebrity general. Like if one of our celebrity general’s was assassinated by the leader of an anti-America country.

Trump caused all those innocent passengers and crew to crash to their deaths. A situation set in quick, impulsive motion by him.

And don’t think most people blame Iran. They blame Trump.

You are one disturbed individual. One step away from my block list as I can't stomach much more of your anti-US drivel.

This whole thing reminds me of the movie The Bedford Incident, where a sailor who is so stressed out from his superiors, that he launches a missile when he overhears the Capt say the word 'fire' in a discussion on the bridge.
Sitting here it can be hard to imagine what is happening inside their assorted military launch sites.

Who was sending blankets to Ukraine when they really needed some defensive weapons?

Whataboutism.

Can’t defend Trump? Distract with some whataboutism. Simply select a pol from the past and draw attention away from the current F’ed up situation on Trump’s watch. It’s a favorite game of Trump voters. To no avail.

But who cares? When mental illness is running the executive branch - and trying to take over the other two branches of government, as well - just give up trying to honor the US Constitution.

Iran admits to 'unintentionally' shooting down Ukrainian plane, says it mistook aircraft for hostile target
https://www.foxnews.com/world/iran-admi ... o-state-tv

And...

They found a way to blame it on Trump. Must be a bunch of Democrats over there.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.
